If you want a place to sit down a little more formally, let me know I have access to a meeting room that seats 10 comfortably, it's pretty central for those that live in town and Palmo.

nah. the ground at Wow is fine for meetings

Another one this Thursday night?

I may even be there in my own car **touch wood**

Was just an offer to make it a bit more organised, easier for anyone taking notes too, taking it all a little bit more seriously etc.

Shame we can't do a quick one before the Wednesday meeting.

We could always try to have a quick meeting say tomorrow noight? Chris's place he supplies the lot?

why not wait unti lafter the meeting and see what they have to say.

that way we know what direction we need to head in

Either or works.

cya on thursday then

im cool with thursday.
Wow again or elsewhere?

just go wow, easy that way as its already there

bring chairs

great work adam

Skids.

Big skids.

if theyre worried about dust n shit at HV, how much would it cost to hire out a big marquee or whatever? that way the cars are sheltered without hiding them all away in the pit bays.

in your pants

it depends if: HV + marquee < showgrounds

showgrounds would be a lot cleaner, but then theres no chance to see demos of the cars on the track (if that would be allowed). i mean, im sure we could talk some of the owners into putting their sexy rides around the track, especially if we can convince the owners of the 2 aston martins to show


*is dreaming*

dont forget Motorsports House has a few meeting rooms for use - just buzz Laurie for a booking!


The showgrounds is just as dusty... we had a lot of trouble getting people to enter their cars there for the last Shannons show... thats why it was moved to the actual oval... but the show society would have rather strict conditions of use i imagine..

** can i just ask what are the ideas being thrown around in regards to $$ for this to happen??
And insurance etc??

sponsorship for one thing....
but it was also going to be combined with the extravaganza.
if you have something to input, meeting at Wow at about 9pm thursday

yeah would love to catch up on whats been going on so far... sorry was holidaying last thursday! but will be at WOW this week - have a few pressies to give to people!!

Should I turn up

Spoke to John today about how much shade strutures are. I figured maybe $10g for the structures setup for the V8's. Try over $40g. Yes, OVER $40,000.


And in your other comment about the Aston's, if you're talking about the person I think you are, rumour has it they've got four now - three up here, one interstate.


Thank you all for your comments guys. I'll be at Wow on Thursday in Sally the Celica. Jenny the GPZ is in pieces as of tonight - she has some teething issues, but on the bright side, bikes are freakin' AWESOME to work on. So ridiculously simple to access areas. And the fuel tank doesn't even have bolts or screw holding it in place - it just slides into a bracket! We pulled her apart in like an hour. Getting her back together however...


But I digress. I'll prepare a proposal tomorrow afternoon after work ready for Wednesday's meeting. I'll take notes at the meeting on the discussion that arises, and will advise on Thursday on how it all goes.

$40k? fuck..... righteo chaps, lets pool our money into tomorrows lotto........


lol why not buy a whole heap of shade structures, use them for the weekend, then return on the monday cos 'they were the wrong size' free shelter

are there any other places that this could possibly be held?

Hidden Valley is the only place to hold it if we want any kind of motorsport-type activities included, which we do to differentiate it from the Shannons Motoring Extravaganza.

hmmmmmm

close the roads to the pizza boys?

as to the cost of shade n shit, would sponsorship help much? or would that be too much of a hassle? (ie; some companies would want shit done one way, another would want it done another way etc)

Sponsorship won't help at all - can't explain in a public forum, but am happy to discuss it on Thursday.

i have been a willing participant to many an activity organised in a car park but i feel that as this concept gains momentum it would be advantageous to have a "round table" type of environment to conduct our meetings and it would double as a semi formal place to have potential sponsors / brains-trusts attend instead of a carpark . Adam suggested that we tag along on a Sunday meeting help by a motoring club ( brain has farted ) on the 24th of this month and i second this idea but adam will have to fill the gaps i am sorry ~~~~ insert red face emote here~~~~~

This is the exact reason that I suggested the room I did. A more formal setting rather than the very Darwin carpark scene.

The offer is still available as it is a freebie room and, as mentioned, very central.

Interested in hearing the details.

hey megz,

could you pls pm or email adam myself some details so we may discuss your kind offer

The Sunday meet-up will be on the last Sunday of this month, so that should be the 28th by my calculations. Currently I won't be able to make it, but it will depend on how my vehicular repairs go over the next week.

Thanks Meg for the meet-up location.

good fuck off cause someone parked on our fucking drift track

thought you was over it anyway

who asked you butt bandid :

If you lot want a more formal place to have a meeting, Mum has a conference room that is for the use of community groups or anyone wanting it if you want to use that just let me know and i can either open it up for you or give someone the key!! the office is in the Goyder centre in palmo right across the road from the ANZ bank. Offers there if you want Let me know

just bringing this back up to the front, so any more ideas/ suggestions ?????

how about a kinda formal get togeather at community room?

that works for me kev, anybody else interested in getting this project moving a bit more?

suggestions for a time and date that is convenient to all would be great

time? Place? Date? anybody

I'm up for whatever & (almost) whenever.

titties and beer....

Thursday @ rc's?? I only say that as it's really the only time most of us are out and about.

as much as i love RC's it does offer a hell of a distraction, any other suggestions for a 1-2 hour meeting time........

1-2 hours??

What the hell are we going to talk about for 2 hours??

I thought we were leaving it in Johns hands and awaiting his reply????

I believe he had a reaction, was a good one if i recall, just needed more info

Yep, John's reaction was good, but there was a negatory on doing something as part of the existing Shannon's Motoring Extravaganza.

I can't attend on a Thursday night at the RC's for the next couple of weeks. Once I have a working vehicle again I'll be right with whatever.

maybe this needs to be back at the top given the replies in another thread cause I dont think its dead jsut yet
